About the Show

It's time to break out the dancing silverware. The national tour of Beauty and the Beast begins performances in Atlanta on November 27. The Disney musical will play the Fox Theatre through December 2.

Beauty and the Beast tells the story of Belle, a young woman in a provincial French town, and the Beast, who is a young prince transformed by an enchantress as punishment for his insensitivity. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved in return, the curse will be lifted and he will be transformed to his former self. If not, he and his palace of servants will remain under the spell for eternity. The score features songs from the 1991 movie by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, with additional lyrics by Tim Rice.

The show, directed by Rob Roth, stars Hilary Maiberger as Belle, Darick Pead as the Beast, Joe Hager as Gaston, Hassan Nazari-Robati as Lumiere, Erin Edelle and James May as Cogsworth.
